Not as much of didnt notice, but didnt initially understand how it works, but I like the fact that you can skip the countdown timer after youdie in GRS now. I assume that e skipped time is just added to your progress time in the former of a penalty.

What? I too assumed that the "waiting period" is your penalty for dying. If you can skip it, what's the point?

The time impact on your GR, not watching a countdown is the penalty. The time is still added to your completion time for the Rift but you don't have to twiddle your thumbs for 30 seconds while it counts down.
